CFGAmG
Comes the time for Christmas, and I really have to ask
AmFGC
If this is feeling merry, how much longer must it last
CFGAmG
I wish your one-horse open sleigh, would come and carry me away
AmFGC
But I've been waiting here all day, and one just hasn’t come my way
CFGAmG
Now excuse me if I’m not being reverent, but I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
AmFGC
Save me from my righteous doubt, as I watch helpless, and everybody sings
CFGAmGAm
If it's Chanukah or Kwanza, Solstice Harvest or December twenty fifth
AmFGC
Peace on Earth to everyone, and abundance to everyone your with
CHORUS: CFGAmGAmFGBbCCBbBbCC
La Laaaa La La La La… Laaaaaa
CFGAmG
Comes the time for Christmas, and as you raise your Yuletide flask
AmFGC
There’s like this feeling that you carry, as if from every Christmas past
CFGAmG
It’s as if each year it grows, it’s like you feel it in your toes
AmFGC
And on and on your carol goes, harvesting love among your woes
CFGAmG
I want to buy into the benevolence, and I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
AmFGC
Make me know what it’s about, as the longing in me, makes me want to sing
CFGAmGAm
Noel or Navidad, season celebration or just the end of the year
AmFGC
Christmas can mean anything, and I mean to keep its hope forever near
REPEAT CHORUS
AmAmGGAmAmCC
As if a cold and frozen soul was warmed, to love, by love’s own hand
AmAmGGFFG
So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men CFGCG
At twenty below the winter storm it billows, but the fire is so warm inside
AmFGC
And the children while nestled in their pillows, dream of St. Nicholas’ ride
CFGCG
And how the next day they’ll get up and they will play, in the still falling Christmas snow
AmFGCG
And together we’ll celebrate forever, in defiance of the winds that blow
CFGC
My God in Heaven, now I feel like I’m seven, and the Spirit calls to me as well
AmFGC
As if Christmas, had made the winter warmer, made a paradise from what was Hell
AmAmGGAmAmCC
As if a cold and frozen soul is warmed, to love, by love’s own hand
AmAmGGFFG
So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men
